I would think the towel would secure the posts, but would still leave the headrest guts exposed to rattling. Process of elimination I guess. Hope you get what I am suggesting.
If I push down on the headrest, put my hand under it with an upward force or push on the side of it, the noise stops. It sounds like it has something to do with the way the rods connect inside the headrest.

If I push down on it hard, the headrest seems like it gets seated....the noise stops unless I hit a serious bump.

I'll see if I can get the housing off to get a look inside. Just have to figure out how to do that without breaking it. The video posted earlier will probably help.
